Chapter 472 Stopping the Stone Monster's Teleportation

"Judging from their school badges, they must be from Wanjue Academy. I don't remember any teacher from Wanjue Sword Cultivation Academy ever using such a sword technique."

Changsun Ling's gaze lingered on Long Aotian and the demon, looking at them again and again, but he still couldn't figure it out.

The sword move was both familiar and unfamiliar; Changsun Ling was certain that this was his first time using the sword.

The Heaven-Reaching Sword in Long Aotian's hand was enough to injure the giant stone monster, which caused Changsun Ling and his group to subtly change their attitude towards Long Aotian.

After everyone was integrated into Jiang He's command, Changsun Ling noticed that the main body of the team was gradually moving closer to these five people.

Despite being at the Nascent Soul stage, their abilities surpassed those of the Nascent Soul stage. Changsun Ling admitted that he had begun to have some prejudice against Jiang He and the other four academy cultivators.

In addition, there have been instances of logistics personnel messing up missions before.

Jiang He and his group of five were not only academic cultivators, but also lacked combat experience and professional training, let alone detailed knowledge of the Black Nest Monster Encyclopedia.

Even if they know the types of monsters in the Black Nest, without real combat experience, these academy cultivators are like flowers in a greenhouse garden, which will scatter with a gust of wind before experiencing any heavy rain.

They weren't even senior students; they were just ordinary first-year students in the Nascent Soul stage.

The biggest battles they've probably experienced are the college entrance exam and the university competition. As for secret realms, they're not worth mentioning. Most secret realms that cultivators enter are of low difficulty and can't compare to the Black Nest at all.

The Black Nest is full of S-rank monsters, and the lowest rank is A-rank monsters. The monsters above that are even higher rank, and even they, at the Nascent Soul stage, can't handle them.

For example, the giant rock monster in front of us is powerful. Although its movement ability is not up to the threshold of SS-class monsters, its physical attacks, such as tail whips, are enough to give them a hard time.

Those who are slow to react will likely be crushed into flattened pancakes by the giant rock monster.

Changsun Ling attacked one route while also observing Jiang He and his group of five.

In the end, he realized that his thinking was too narrow.

Not only does Long Aotian possess the top-grade spiritual weapon, the Tongtian Sword, but Bai Zhizhou and Li Ling are both powerful array masters. The former even used spiritual blood to construct a teleportation array, which helped them escape the attacks of the giant stone monster multiple times.

The latter has even changed his identity.

Being both a demonic cultivator and a spiritual cultivator, Changsun Ling almost knocked Li Ling unconscious when Li Ling's demonic energy dissipated.

Li Ling is a legitimate demonic cultivator.

Many years have passed, and Changsun Ling has seen demonic cultivators in other armies, but his Fifth Army has no intention of mixing with them. This is the first time in recent years that Changsun Ling has seen a scene of demonic cultivators fighting against demons.

Aside from these three, Jiang He goes without saying.

He has strong command abilities and seems to be all-around capable.

As for Zhong Liyu, he is a handsome and elegant man when he is not playing the erhu, but when he plays the erhu, he cries and howls like a ghost, almost giving Changsun Ling a heart attack.

Is this the kind of sound a human could produce?

Changsun Ling once doubted the meaning of life.

The five individuals had limited abilities, but they all performed to their full potential.

Changsun Ling followed Jiang He's instructions throughout, stalling for time until he finally received news of Lan Gengzhong and the others' arrival.

In Changsun Ling's view, Jiang He and his group of five were handling the situation with ease.

In reality, Zhong Liyu had been dead for a while.

Zhong Liyu's hands trembled as she gasped for breath as she fled the giant stone monster's attack.

Who knows? He couldn't escape even if he wanted to. If it weren't for Bai Zhizhou, he would have really died here.

When Lan Gengzhong arrived with his group, Jiang He and his four companions blended neatly among the Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

The bad news was that the rock monster destroyed the signal station, but there was no worse news.

There were some casualties among the people on the scene, but seeing these cultivators holding back the giant stone monster, Lan Gengzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

She was right about Jiang He.

It has to be young people.

With Lan Geng rejoining the team, there were many more cultivators fighting the giant stone monster. Zhong Liyu finally had a chance to catch his breath. He put away his erhu with trembling hands and, after a while, switched to his spirit sword.

The giant rock monster is incredibly strong; be very careful of its sudden tail swings and vibrations.

When the giant stone monster saw Lan Gengzhong, it couldn't distinguish each cultivator, but it always remembered Lan Gengzhong's aura.

S-rank and above monsters possess some intelligence. It is obvious that this SS-rank boulder monster knows that Lan Gengzhong is a holder of a mutated ice spirit root. Comparing Lan Gengzhong with the cultivator who injured it earlier, it is clear that the two are the same person.

Upon seeing Lan Gengzhong, the giant stone monster tried to flee. Thinking of the other S-class monsters in the cave, it silently spat out countless stones as a protective shell.

Its body was shrouded in black mist. Lan Geng focused her mind and immediately made a judgment:

"The rock monster has teleportation abilities; it's trying to escape using it. Everyone, focus fire!"

Lan Geng shouted loudly. She had been tricked by the Stone Monster's skills so many times that she was almost traumatized. If the Stone Monster escaped again this time, she would not be Lan!

"Teleportation? Another SS-rank monster, and it can teleport? This giant rock monster is outrageous."

"Why are all the monsters I've encountered lately so troublesome? It's so annoying." Changsun Ling teleported to the side of the giant stone monster in a few moments. In front of him, the sword in his hand instantly split into ten identical spirit swords.

Ten spirit swords were unleashed simultaneously, striking the giant stone monster's wound.

Changsun Ling's sword pierced the flesh of the giant stone monster.

The other cultivators were in the same boat; if they didn't hold off the giant stone monster, it would be another big problem once it recovered.

The cultivators surrounding the giant stone monster unleashed their powerful attacks in unison.

Jiang He pressed her sword down around the giant stone monster's body.

The gap between her and S-class monsters is as vast as the ocean.

But now, Jiang He desperately wants to conquer this sea.

This was the feeling he had when he fought against an S+ level demon during the academy's grand competition, when he was still a Golden Core cultivator.

Now, she only felt that the gap between them was too huge.

So much so that she had to use all her strength every time the giant stone monster attacked her.

Jiang He and his group of five were the only remaining Nascent Soul stage cultivators on the field. Logically speaking, their attacks should not have caused any damage to the SS-level demon.

But it was through these millions of sword swings that the five people maximized their damage output.

Every second they were on the run, every moment they were on the verge of touching the gates of hell.

Now, they've managed to evade that door time and time again.

Feeling the energy within his body constantly dwindling, Li Ling suppressed his desire to advance to the next level.

Countless sharp attacks flew towards the rock monster, and once again, it only resulted in a cloud of dust.

The giant stone monster activated its teleportation skill.

Lan Geng looked at the figure that had disappeared behind the layer of soil and frowned slightly.

They still failed.

They left no stone monster behind, nor did they kill it.

What followed was the appearance of over a thousand S-rank monsters.
